Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player: Justify My Love

GeekSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:00:24 PDT

I actually no longer have a dedicated CD player anymore; if a CD does, in fact, need to be played, it can be thrown into the DVD player or the optical drive of one of our many home computers. However, now I'm kind of lamenting the fact that I don't need a CD player, because I can in no way justify this Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player ($178).

Muji, for the uninitiated, creates spare, clean products, as is evident with this CD player, which is finally available in the US. Mounted on a wall, it's light years prettier than my big old bulky boom box I had years ago. I also love the ingenious power cord; you merely tug it to turn the player on and off.

Sadly, it shan't be mine, because I can't make a good enough excuse to own it - and it even goes with that all-white gadget color scheme I have suddenly become obsessed with.

Toy Box: Cities in a Bag

Wooden toys are oh so popular these days so I was delighted to find some fun for mom and dad to play with, too. MUJI, a Japanese based company, manufactures a unique set of blocks – cities in a bag. For $14, fans of the big apple can buy New York City in a Bag and get the Chrysler Building, Statue of Liberty, Guggenheim Museum, the original MoMA buildings, and six cars. Made from sustainable wood, these timber toys are eco–mindful and avante–garde.

Choose from Barcelona, London, Spain or New York and teach your children about bustling big cities all around the world or let them use their imaginations to create their own wooden metropolis.

This MUJI Elephant Doll is as earth friendly as it is adorable. This simple multi-color plush toy is named for a Japanese phrase meaning "No Brand Goods." Made of recycled yarn and sold for $21, the line of toys which also includes a bunny, dog and bear has become famous all over the world.
